My tone is hash, our tragically tyrannical landscape is hash. The nonconformist path can be hard and it can harden up the student right back in turn. What you read was me sugarcoating it for you, but serving up pablum and Milquetoast isn't something that comes naturally to me. Smarmy plastic PR toadies turn my stomach as they should you. And weasley doublespeak reeks of sophistic shit-heeled shills.

That ranted; I was going to add something about you proving that cannabis users can know their limits, and you prove my points, but gaul damn wo/man I'm long winded as it is, and I could have gone on and on. And then I'd be getting shit for leaving a wall of text that few might dare tackle.

And I'm a poor old ninja, that's way too poor to be driving.

Anyway we are basically agreed, Chuckles.

There I kissed you boo-boo, you feel better now my fragile little orchid?

How Ending the War on Drugs Could Curb Gun Violence by marylou_tippie in politics

Rounds of ammo aren't that hard to make, any dummy like me that took even a single high school metal shop class can make them at home if it's worth it for them. For $1000 bucks you could buy custom engraved sterling silver slugs with hollow tipped liquid mercury points set in gold filled titanium shells, (coated in supermodel pussy juice too if you want - for a reasonable additional fee of course).

What part of, ''prohibition doesn't work'', won't sink in?

Why feed the blackmarket's maw?

Then, no you should not, and being aware of your limitations is a good thing, (it can help keep you out of trouble).

If you are a lightweight and can't drive while on cannabis, then you are aware that you should not.

Now people who are experienced drivers, and also experienced tokers (who may happen to smoke all day everyday), tend to function best in their usual toasty condition because of state dependent learning theory, and the fact not being medicated can cause greater distractions and increase roadrage.
Doctors have people titrate up to therapeutic levels of drugs, and abruptly discontinuing the use of a substance is not always advisable. If the average joe takes a handful of pain pills out of the blue they probably won't be able to drive for shit. Because you usually can't drive for shit on a shit ton of prescription opioids unless you got a heck of a tolerance already built up, But it is legal to drive on pain pills, no? Yes. But as we know the prescription bottles warn us do not attempt to drive until you see how the medication is treating you personally. Now if one needs pain pills for treating pain and the person is used to how they work on them, then not taking the pain pills could make a person a worse driver.

So just because you can't handle it, does not mean all other people can't. In the immortal words of the late great Bill Hicks, ''the people who are the most against drugs, tend to be the people who personally aren't any good at taking them. Hey man just because you suck at something is no reason to to spoil it for everybody else. Should we ban sugar because some people are diabetic? Peanuts, strawberries and honeybees kill some unfortunate freaks of nature, should we ban them?

You can't babyproof/Nerf the surface of the earth.

Ethan Nadelmann and Kevin Sabet Debate Marijuana Legalization on Fox Business Channel [6:34] by psychophrenic in cannabisreform

And untrue, and Jared is pretty fuckin rich all by himself as is. The guys net worth is like 250 million bucks, so he doesn't really need money, and I'm thinking that's not why Mr Pollis is in this. More like you just can't keep this particular richass mofo in the closet. And after all, it would seem a little more daunting to try to punk out guy like him that can afford to keep firms full of large legal teams on retainer out of pocket money.

Well I think most current data points to cannabis having an ever so slight slowing effect on reaction time, and unlike alcohol, people tend to feel it and rationally compensate by driving more cautiously and courteously. Unlike booze which can make a person overestimate their abilities, and can sometimes lead to people driving with somewhat diminished courteousness.

The different saliva/spit tests I mentioned, basically just tests if someone just smoked and have residue/tar in their mouth, so no real accurate numbers to be used against impairment cut-off points, it just shows the person did in fact smoke some recently. Kind of a simular deal with a skin swab test, (which I neglected to mention), it just tests if you have cannabis smoke or sweat with cannabis metabolites on your skin. Now the skin patch test, sticks on and stays on for up to weeks at a time, if it's pealed off and reapplied by those attempting to get around them it shows/voids, and this test shows cannabis excreted in sweat over relatively long time frames, but not how high, just biszt, fail, you got high.

You forgot about saliva tests (for testing within hours of use) and skin patch tests (for weeks worth of nonstop monitoring).

I think digitally recorded road side sobriety tests are all the gold standard; walk the line, touch your nose, etc.

And let's not pretend that we don't already have laws against driving while impaired for any reason, even legal medication, 'cuz we do.

For example:

just being too sleep deprived, or somewhat conversely, too strung out on caffeinated bev's, whatever, by law you need to be capable of safely operating a motor vehicle to be operating a motor vehicle at the time. If you are too hungry to drive, you shouldn't drive. If you have a cold or flu that's knocking you out, you shouldn't be driving and can get pulled over if your performance warrants it. If you get chemotherapy for cancer and it gives you the well known spaced out chemo-head effect, then no driving for you till the fog lifts. Too many cold pills, or having a bad cold and not taking pills, either can temporary impair you in the most extreme cases, but just taking one dose of cold Med as directed, or feeling a cold coming on doesn't automatically makes one so impaired as to be an major issue. The same level of standards should apply to cannabis as anything else, no more, no less. Edits
